30-Day Outlook: Neutral-to-slightly-bullish bias. Breadth improved last week (SPY/QQQ/IWM all +~2%) and price remains near highs, but we’re heading into a loaded event cluster: FOMC (decision Wednesday), Big Tech earnings mid-week, and GDP/PCE Thu–Fri. That cocktail argues for tactical caution and the potential for volatility spikes around headlines. For positioning, I prefer theta-positive, range-tolerant structures (e.g., your Flyagonal with standard call-side widths and a modestly conservative put-diagonal below) until the policy/earnings data clears.
